Les côtés d"emplantures des ailettes (212) rejoignent la face d"extrémité d"arbre (211a) par l"intermédiaire de surfaces incurvées régulières (213). Ainsi, étant donné que l"air peut circuler entre le côté face d"extrémité d"arbre (211a) et les côtés d"emplantures des ailettes (212), la résistance entre les surfaces des ailettes et l"air au niveau des côtés d"emplantures est réduite par l"air s"écoulant entre le côté face d"extrémité d"arbre (211a) et les côtés d"emplantures de ces ailettes (212), d"où la suppression du décrochage des ailettes (212) au niveau des côtés d"emplantures. Parallèlement, étant donné que l"air en aval de la partie de moyeu (211) peut être conduit efficacement vers l"extérieur (vers les ailettes (212)), il est possible de supprimer la diminution de la vitesse d"évacuation de l"air et la perte d"efficacité résultante d"un ventilateur (200).

Abstract: This invention relates to compositions comprising cationic preservatives and anionic hydrocolloids, to methods of preparing them and their application in food microbiological protection. Due to their composition, food products are susceptible to act as a culture medium for microorganisms, and this constitutes a possible risk to human health. Thus, food products require good protection against microbiological contamination. The present invention relates to the interaction between cationic preservatives derived from the condensation of fatty acids and esterified dibasic amino acids and anionic hydrocolloids, such as pectins, xanthan gums, carrageenans, acacia gums or agars. The most preferred cationic preservative is the ethyl ester of the lauramide of arginine monohydrochloride (LAE). As a result of this interaction, some anionic hydrocolloids are able to absorb LAE and precipitate together by the enhancement of their lipophilic properties. These new solid compounds can be isolated by filtration and, surprisingly, retain the microbiological inhibitory activity of LAE. The solid compounds contain approximately stoechiometric amounts of LAE and the anionic hydrocolloid. The preferred solid compound is LAE/xanthan gum. The solid compounds are stable and can be stored under normal conditions of temperature and humidity for long periods of time. The invention relates to the method of preserving food products using the new solid compounds and the food products obtained as a result of the application of the method.

Abstract: A method of manufacturing a catalytic converter is described where the catalytic converter is comprised of an outer tube member having a monolith substrate internally compressed therein with a wrapped mat material surrounding the monolith substrate and intermediate the outer tube. One or more monolith members can be applied within the outer tube and heat shields may also be applied internal to the outer tube and adjacent to the monolith substrate. The assembly of the catalytic converter includes measuring the sequence of compression of the mat material to the monolith substrate in order to understand the possible force characteristics which can be applied during the assembly thereof. The mat material is therefore compressed within the outer tube by way of compression jaws, by compression rollers, and/or by spinning. The compression of the mat material can be in single or multiple steps.

Abstract: An automated process for allocating groups of cells 1, 2, 3, 4 to specific location areas is adapted to analyse communications traffic within said cells, associate penalty values reflecting the penalty of particular cell pairs being grouped into the same location area and assign cells to common location areas so as to mimimise a sum of the penalty values. The magnitude of a penalty value is dependant upon the paging load of a particular cell and on the relative degree of coverage overlap between two particular cell pairs. The invention is advantageous in that it does not require any skilled, manual input. It can be applied to cellular communications systems such as GSM, UMTS and IS95.

Abstract: This invention concerns a smartcard (CAR), wherein it comprises at least one module (TIM) external to the operating system to manage the triggering of byte transmission. The external module (TIM) acts as assistant by monitoring the operating system. In its role as assistant, it can force the operating system to trigger byte transmission. Consequently, the inter-byte time intervals are better respected so that the reader can communicate with the smartcard. When these time intervals are not respected, the reader fails to recognise the card. The invention therefore avoids ejection of the card.

Abstract: This invention relates to a method for purifying and drying a polymer hydrogel. This invention is based in part upon the discovery that rapid drying of polymer hydrogels can eliminate the problem of unacceptable levels of soluble oligomers caused by prolonged thermal treatment. Rapid drying techniques allow drying hydrogels containing more water than was previously considered possible without a loss in product quality. Furthermore, it was discovered that slurries comprising polymer hydrogels and large quantities of water can be spray dried and that spray drying can be conducted with only minimal oligomer formation.
